Bricks are one of the common building material around the world. In many areas there is already a shortage of natural material for production of the conventional bricks. As the demand of clay increases the cost also increases. An alternate method to decrease the usage of clay is by incorporating the waste material into the clay bricks. The utilisation of these wastes will help to reduce the negative effects of their disposal. This paper presents a review on utilization of waste materials to produce bricks. A wide variety of waste materials have been studied to produce bricks with different methods and also a review is done on bricks with GGBS, Paper sludge and late rite soil. The physical and mechanical properties of bricks were analysed and discussed.
